Dear CR members,
I some of you might be interested in knowing about this:
I just scored the remaining inventory of the Match Paramount lugs. These
lugs were designed by Tim Isaac, and used to build the last incarnation of
the Schwinn Paramount (R.I.P.) 1997-1999-ish. These are the very last of
these lugs; when they are gone, they are gone for good.
These lugs are super sexy (subjective I know) and give new meaning to the
phrase "bikini-lugs". The lugs are very easy to braze up. But because of the
small amount of surface area, I would suggest brazing with brass for a
little extra strength. The seat lug has no cast in binder but I will include
a braze-on style type binder with the lug set. The TT angle is 74*, ST angle
is 73* and DT angles are 59* and 61*, and sized to fit standard OS sized
pipes.
I also have the seat stay plugs we used at match for the Paramount frames.
They have a cast in counter-sink for a blind binder bolt and work with 14mm
single taper or 16mm double taper stays. They also slip nicely into the ID
of a 16mm stay if you wanted to use them that way; it gives a very seamless
look! If you need more info on these please do not hesitate to ask.
I was tempted to hoard these and sell them at a premium because of the
finite nature of the supply. However, after discussing it with a good
friend, have decided to turn these as quickly as possible and use the $$$ to
design and build more Pacenti Cycle Design proprietary products.
That is why they will go for the blow out price of $40.00 per set. Or $49.00
with the seat stay plugs.
